Very much like the '80s coin-op game - Bosconian. Cool.

I left a few quarters with Bosconian.

Three concerns: X11; play field is too small; and mouse controlling is awkward.

Could you:

- make a 'native' Mac port?
- make the play field larger?
- allow spacebar to control shooting (as is, the arrow keys control direction - which is good, but useless without shot control)
[Version 1.11]

Thank you for your comment.

Regarding to your concerns, those ideas might be cool if I react about it.
However, frankly speaking, I'm not interested in doing the work.

About 'native' mac port:
It needs lots of time to do that. The only reason I did this porting work is that it needs very little amount of work to make in running and it seemed to be fun.

About Large play field:
This game was so fun to me because it has very cute tiny things. It might be better and easier if it has large play field. But I loved the game as it was.

About spacebar shooting control:
I think I don't understand what you mean. (Sorry for my poor English) I think there're no differences between holding shift key and space key.


Anyhow, Thank you for paying attention to this game and leaving a good comment.

Thanks. I guess had I read "How to control the spaceship" on your site, then I wouldn't have been confused.

I simply read the little intro splash screen, and just experimented. Ultimately playing with the mouse.

Now, I can really give the Bosconians some 'shift'. Ha HA! [That's a pun.]

Anyway, thanks again for bringing it.
